Guild Wars 2

It seems that the two stronger servers seem to fight over the weaker realm a lot of times rather than fight over each others land. Maybe there should be a diminishing return system so the realm losing is worth reduced points. This would encourage the stronger realms to fight over each others land and stop the spread between the leader server and losing server. Right now my server is losing by over 50,000 and yet we have both enemies taking our keeps and ignoring each others been like this all week and last couple weeks.

Not to be a jerk, but rewarding the last place server for losing is just a bad philosophy, I’ll agree it’s unfortunate and probably lopsided numbers wise, but you can’t punish the other 2 servers from taking points from the server that puts up less of a fight, recruit people to WvW or just get used to it, have some duels or something. ET spent months at the bottom of T8, essentially as the worst server in NA. Now were winning our match up and over the next few weeks possibly pushing hard enough to move up a tier. Be patient, ask people to join WvW in LA and just keep on truckin. Being the underdog usually makes you better once you have a fair matchup

You most certainly can punish the other two servers for zerging the first. ET is a prime example of a server that relies on zerging to win fights, and yet are still in T8 despite having the population of a much higher tier server. Incentives to play for the underdog side are a great philosophy. If there were more incentives we wouldn’t have 8 uneven matchups all the time.

The problem as I see it is that many want the fastest/easiest wxp points now.

Wiping smaller or lesser organised blobs with your own blob is the go-to source for wxp now that ppl have realised its much faster then flipping objectives.
Rangeds tag as many ppl as possible to register for loot/wxp, melees cleave towards any downeds you see to register for the same loot/wxp.
Even with the reduced wxp for those recently killed, this hasn’t seemed to be strict enough to deter this from being the best overall source of wxp.

So if your server is third place , you may be playing the role of the wxp pinata/wiped blob more often then not, as there is not enough wxp incentive for the 2 strong servers to fight each other.

lol what? ET relies on zerging? your joking right? We’ve been fighting outmanned for months, don’t whine because were winning now that we aren’t lol. Not like any other server isn’t zerging since they added wxp. You’ve never seen how many SF has otherwise you wouldn’t complain about our numbers lol.

@ARM
Rewarding the last place team by making their objectives less attractive points-wise is a terrible philosophy. I bet you give the losing team a participation trophy too. You don’t get rewarded for losing, that’s not how things work people.
